The Chamber by Wooden Robot - NoDa

Great spot in a great location. Being right off the rail adds this cool city connected flare. Large space with a huge bar and chill upstairs. Sitting at the bar and taking in the outdoor view was good ambiance. Beers here are legit. Plentiful in selection and flavors were all on point.

Big open brewery with a lot of seating inside as well as outside. They are pet friendly and also have lots of board games to play. Came on a Sunday afternoon and was not busy at all. They offer wine and beer only no hard liquor. The bartender was super nice and gave great recommendations. This is located in Noda, and I believe they do have some parking spaces beside the brewery, but not a lot, so street parking is the way to go. If you like beer, this is definitely a good place for you to try out. Other than that, it's just a regular brewery.

Very convenient to the light rail. Excellent beer. I recommend the coffee blond Good Morning Vietnam and the Pilsner Pilmatic. They always have a food truck. Very close to 2 bars Idlewild and The Ugly. Talked to the bartender Taylor about how cool this location is. Great start for any NoDa pub crawl.

Great Location, Cool Interior and Patio, Good Beers Great: location is perfect, as it is literally right across from light rail and in a great spot close to other restaurants, bars, eateries. Flight tray setup is one of the coolest I've seen with a circle sticker to give your selections. Some neat selections based mostly around golden ales. The Funk (7/10) and Always (7/10) were good with unique flavors. The Vietnam (8/10) was a constantly changing ale in a good way. Cool interior with couches and tables. Service: helpful, friendly, and prompt. Value: one flight came to $14 before tip, which is pretty standard, maybe a little more, but overall fine. Improve: N/A Summary: Good beers @ great location!!

We were in Noda for a night and wanted to grab a quick pre dinner drink. The Mrs wanted a place with some NA options so we gave them a try. A parking garage next door was convenient for parking as there is no street parking anywhere to be found. We came in and we’re welcomed by one of the coolest breweries you will see, cool artwork, couches, and a very rustic vibe. Plenty of beer choices and plenty of NA options(tho canned only). They also had merch for sale and a Trivia night going on (Thursday). Go here for any occasion.

What a chill vibe. I had there porter. It wasn’t the best but it was okay. I really liked their vibe. Very open and the prices were affordable. My friends and I played some board games and enjoyed ourselves. Overall great place.

One of my top 5 breweries in Charlotte. Its a nice beautiful location easy access to light rail.. next to everything. In noda district. The beertenders need to have a little more urgency.. but fantastic beer great ambience i like the rooftop!

You have to check this brewery out when visiting Charlotte! Attention and recommendations made at the bar were the best! Even though we got there a bit late to check the rooftop; the bar indoor did not disappoint! It has a very laidback vibe, with some comfy couches and high tops all over! Their outdoor is really cute too but it was a bit too cold for me to hang outside 😅 About the beers? ⁃ What he’s having IPA 6.5% ABV ⁃ Unicorn Chaser IPA 6% ABV ⁃ Juice-o-Tron IPA 6% ABV ⁃ Pops Pilsner 5.5% ABV ⁃ Good night Vietnam Porter 5% ABV

Food truck is amazing. Joe was a wonderful bartender who helped out immensely. Good prices on beer and their seasonal drinks are great. Thank you Joe!

Super fun and chill space that we always visit when we're in NoDa. It's right off the light rail, so super easy to get to. I can always find a beer to try here. The space is gorgeous and the vibe cannot be beat. The bartenders are friendly and knowledgeable and everything is very clean. I cannot recommend this location enough. I also get so excited when I see this beer In other cities!

I couldn't get on the light rail and head home without another beer, could I? Cozy and busy and dog friendly (since they don't serve food), The Chamber was busy when I stopped in and found an empty hightop table to sit, surf and enjoy their Pilsmatic Pilsner beer. Cold, refreshing, crisp. Delicious. Neat spot for a drink, it's the first stop as you step off the Lynx at 36th Street station.

Whenever I'm in town, this place is a MUST. Love the beer, and my all time favorite is the Good morning, Vietnam which tastes like coffee! I wish I could buy it back home in Florida. The ambiance is super chill and everyone is friendly... consistently!! I noticed they added pinball machines and some board games. I love their merchs and scored myself a new shirt this time around and was gifted a wooden robot pin. You guys rock! Can't wait for my next visit to the Queen City so that I can make another pit stop here.

Was out and about with my son catching up and we stopped here to get out of the rain and have some one-to-one time. For ambiance and location this place really shined. It is located right by a light-rail stop so access is great. The main room is very large with high ceilings and a great open and airy feel. They had a couple dozen tables, split between hi-tops and regular, and styled a few couch sitting areas ... at which a few 30-something couples with strollers and little ones were ensconced. They also had a long bar against one wall which also presented the featured beers ... it was a full bar for those wanting something else. For beer tasters they had a nice 6 pour flight with generous pours. We thought the beer selection, while extensive, didn't offer that much. So we'd return for the ambiance but try something else for the beer.

We didn't order from the food truck parked outside but we did order the brews. All were tasty. From the coffee flavored, to the strawberry, to the wheat, each beer held their own when we compared them. The building is big and it was busy on a Saturday afternoon. The bar servers were attentive and helpful. There were families, singles, and groups sharing the space. It was noisy but that's what you get on a Saturday.

The Chamber is right off the Blue line train stop at 36th st. It has good indoor and outdoor seating. They don't have food, but usually have food trucks on the weekend. They have a good mix of the favorites ( pilsner IPA lagers, and stouts ) with a mixture of some interesting choices. They have large garage doors to open the interior and let you get that outdoor feel without sitting in the sun. The staff was a little aloof in that they seem to be there to serve beer and move on. I like a little more interaction. I understand when busy, but they were not crowded at the time. The location is great because it is a gateway to the Charlotte area known as NODA. Would go back

Thank you for an amazing Farm to Table event on Monday night! The food was exquisite, drink exceptional and patrons, pleased! The brewery is nicely decorated, well lit with a gorgeous bar an open floor plan. Again, what a great evening! Support local businesses!!

There's practically no parking at the east 36 street location and if you park in the garage across from the brewery, it can be $25 for a couple hours. Definitely not worth it! A lot of other craft breweries in Charlotte where you don't have to pay exorbitant parking prices. Won't go back again!

Great service and good beer. I love how attentive the "beertender" (sorry, heard this term tonight and now I'm just going to use it forever) are to guests. If you're unsure about getting a Pilsner, lager, gose, IPA, cider, etc., the good news is that you can sample them to figure out what you're in the mood for. Prices are great, the space is a pretty popular hang out and it fills up fast on the weekends. It's a good thing my friend and I were wearing cute, comfy shoes. Oh yeah, and people do bring their dogs (even in the winter when the space is enclosed), so just be prepared for that.

One summer evening in 2021, went to grab Bae's Burger in NoDa. They were located at The Chamber, so naturally decided to stop in and grab a beer while we waited. Great selection of beers and located in a very happening area of NoDa. They have seating inside, a patio areas with seating outside, as well as a rooftop area. Great place to chill out, grab a beer and watch some games! Parking lot is pretty small, but there's an attached garage for patrons and the connected apartment complex as well.

This brewery is located in a perfect neighborhood in NoDa where there's plenty of parking and lots to do nearby. The light rail is in sight and it's a very walkable area. Stopped in briefly while waiting to pick up food from Bae's food truck outside. There were a good number of people inside enjoying themselves. For social distancing reasons, we decided to take our bevs outside. I noticed a dog or two indoors, so I guess it's pet friendly. I prefer blonde ales and tried the Always Light, which I really liked. Looked forward to returning soon.

Beers are great! Try the Good Morning Vietnam and Vanillan and thank me shortly thereafter. They do not do in-house food here, but they do have free Wifi (no password needed). Not sure if they're dog friendly, but I do know they bring in food trucks. Flights of 5 beers are $14.53 after tax. Flights baby....gotta love that. Rooftop seating available helps with crowd control, but it was really, really loud inside with people talking and blaring music the last time we visited. I hate having to yell across the table just to have a conversation. This place is worthy of visiting...IF, and I mean, IF you can find a parking spot. There are very, very few parking spots and since it's at the end of a block of other walkup business like an ice cream store, etc., finding a parking spot here is like winning a small lottery. I definitely prefer their dowtown location better, simply because there's ample street parking for days. They're selling their beer in cans here for take away and merch too, but both were really cleaned out this last trip as well. Only 1 kind of beer left in cans and it wasn't anything I drink so, nope.

Really nice brewery with a great rooftop deck perfect for warm summer evenings. They have pinball and corn-hole and usually there's a food truck parked in front. Great selection of beers, and thoughtful wine and cider options too. They also just got their liquor license so you can get cocktails now too. Just an all-around lovely place.

Great place and great brews! Steep Dreams, sour farmhouse w/orange blossom green tea for me . Overachiever for hubby. Plenty of seating inside/outside. And rooftop!

This is a beautiful brewery. It's not a throw some pallet wood on a wall and call it a day kind of place. They have wine/bourbon barrels along one part of the building. It's classy, not klassy. I love saison beer so I was excited when I saw the menu. I tried the currant variety and another saison & went with the current one. It was served in an almost wine style glass and had great flavor. If I weren't so tired I would have ordered another. The music was great last night but was a bit too loud for having a conversation. The people watching was 10/10. A great stop, especially if you can take the light rail. Oh! And they have a rooftop bar but I didn't check it out because it was freezing out.

This space is beautiful! Free parking is limited but lots of paid parking available in the Novel Noda parking garage. It's also right on a light rail stop! I'm not a beer person so I usually get the Good Morning Vietnam, but this location also has bottles of wine. Indoor and outdoor/rooftop seating too! It's definitely worth checking out!

Was eager to check out the new WR spot and it did not disappoint at all! Their new location is literally steps away from the 36th street lynx station which is super convenient, and provides another way of getting home other than ridesharing or getting a friend to come pick you up. HUGE outdoor space (compared to their original location)... there's even a nice rooftop area where you can watch the sunset through the crafted "NODA" metalwork. During my first visit, there is a beer station upstairs, but no one was manning it. It was easy enough to order from the bar below and walk up one of the two staircases. The most obvious one is the one you see when you walk up, and there's another one inside the chamber that reminds me of an industrial building or college dormitory (good place for some art, which I'm sure is coming soon). The main bar downstairs has garage doors that open up to the patio and also a full wrap around portion to service the inside. Staff were super knowledgeable and professional. I liked the touches of metal and wood in the bar that caries the theme throughout. The backdrop inside are the barrels and to get to the stair case you gotta walk through. There wasn't any production going on, but it's cool they have expanded from Southend. Unfortunately no Kre8 food here, BUT! there was a food truck parked outside. I'm sure with the ever-changing NoDa scene there will be some food places that pop up that are fairly close to walk or deliver.

Friendly and generous staff, even better beer. The Good Morning Vietnam is delicious! They have a wide variety of beers to try, dog friendly indoors. Great atmosphere for a beer any day of the week!

Came here on a Saturday night around 9pm. Sat at the bar - place is pretty open & has an open concept. Stopped in for a beer, got it be blueberry lemon cider. It was different but tasty. The bartender came over to us immediately when we sat down and we had our drink a min or two after. Bathrooms were clean which is always a plus. Didn't see any food options so I'm of unsure if you are able to purchase food. The light rail also stops right outside this location.

Fun place, great service and atmosphere, nice selection of unique taps. Be sure to try it on a night that Tacoverse food truck is there - had a cowboy chicken rice bowl hibachi style and it was an explosion of flavor with just the right amount of subtle heat. FABULOUS.

When my friends told me they were bringing me to the best brewery in Charlotte, they weren't lying. I very rarely drink beer but when I do, I go all out. So much looked good so I got a flight - 5 very generous pours - which were suggested by the very friendly girl working the bar. I'm not gonna pretend I know enough about beer to speak to the flavors and complexities but I know that I got all of their IPAs and they were all fantastic. I particularly liked the What He's Having. The area inside was open, clean, COVID-adherent, and dog friendly (yay!). There's no food but apparently there's always a food truck outside as well as plenty of tempting looking restaurants in NoDa. Definitely one of the best breweries I've been to!

Good drink selections. Nice outdoor seating area. Would recommend for drinks. Had a food truck outside.

The Chamber is a nice little spinoff brewery from Wooden Rocket, located In NODA (North of Dakota Street) and nestled next to an apartment complex. My friends and I passed by for a quick beer before dinner. I had a 'I'll have what he's having' a more crisp IPA. Slightly bitter as expected but still delicious. Additionally, seems like this area is a hot spot for food trucks as there was one just outside the brewery. The inside was large, spacious and unremarkable, but the true gem of this place has to be their rooftop. Lots of seating and semi-shade, I could imagine is being a great place for conversation and relaxation around sunset.

I was always a fan in passing of their original South End spot, but the NoDa location really fits the artistic low key NoDa vibe, without affecting the beer quality. The staff is always super friendly and inviting, shout out to Brett! I love that they have integrated their services to work with the local Charlotte Hopp beer app and they have always had one of the best trivia nights in town

Love how spacious and breezy the outside area is, perfect for social distancing. Tried the Grapefruit Ale and it was pretty good. Not much of a bite with a fruity essence

Love this brewery! The farmhouse Saisons are fantastic. Service was excellent, really nice decor, seating area is comfy with some soundproofing to make it quiet enough to hear your party.

What a real cool place, rooftop seating for the spring and fall, might be a little tight for summers and in the AC during the day, then during the Winter it is weird they have the smallest fire-pit add in some of those outside heaters and more fire-pits it got cold as heck out there and you get more than 4 people around that one pit, forget about it. Food truck was amazingly good. Location right next to the light rail is pretty cool and HELLO NODA! I LIKE IT!

Stopped by last night for a couple of beers. It was my first time at this location although I am well acquainted with the southend original. Upon walking up I was excited to see a large assortment of outdoor tables set up like a true Biergarten. This was just the start though as upon walking up the stairs on the outside I made my way to the rooftop where they had even more tables and a really relaxed atmosphere. Inside they had a different setup to the southend location but definitely a similar vibe. I stumbled upon their trivia night which sounded like a lot of fun so I will have to bring some friends by to try it out. All of my favorite wooden robot beers were there of course. The only thing missing was a kitchen but I did see a food truck outside. Overall this is a nice twist on their original location that fits the NoDa neighborhood really well. I look forward to going back.

Everything was great about this place!!!! Everln they fact it's literally 20 steps off the light rail. NODA is up and coming and we were so excited that wooden robot decided to plant here! They have a rooftop beer garden. Lots of seating indoors and out. Lots of taps and several food trucks were available yesterday. The view is amazing. The atmosphere is so laid back and a DJ was crushing it on the roof. Dog friendly. I tried good morning Vietnam which is a true staple to them. It was delicious, could have added some starbuck caramel syrup and made it a latte! It was amazing.

Note: Do yourself a favor and catch the train to 36th Street stop and save yourself the headache of parking.... besides it'll help you DRINK RESPONSIBLY! The setup outside is adorable with picnic seating available for large groups. If it's not too hot, check out their rooftop patio (side stairs or inside, back corner) as there's a bar offering some selections there also. The rooftop offers seating for good amount of people, but there wasn't much shade from the sun when I visited. But the bartenders were amazing and quickly getting drunk orders out...much appreciated! I like the new addition to the NoDa area and especially like that it's literally right off the train stop. Furry friends are welcomed in the patio area and so are kids, as I observed a couple of groups of parents enjoying themselves with the little ones - one group were all dads, which I thought was pretty cool. This a dope spot so I'll definitely be back!

This just became one of my favorite breweries, not just in NC but east coast so far! Great location, spectacular beers, and beautiful setup inside and on the rooftop. Staff was super knowledgeable and friendly. No complaints and will stop by again very soon!

First off, I would give Wooden robot five stars for the beer. Their beer is really good. But this place is lacking something. First off there's nowhere to park, but it is right next to light rail. So if you live on the light rail then you can take the train right to the 36th Street stop. Another thing that I was looking forward to you was the rooftop patio. Once we got up there it was a little underwhelming and not as awesome as I thought it would be. The interior is really nice and I love the barrel wall. The staff is always kind and helpful. We got a fight and the bartender did not steer us wrong. I guess I just had higher hopes for this new location and left just a little bit disappointed.

Love this place in NoDa and they have gluten reduced beer for my GFF friends! Nice indoor, patio and rooftop area. Stop by!

Probably one of my favorite breweries I have been to in a while. Situated in a newly developed area of NoDa right next to the light rail. It's very open with lots of outside space which is great for the warm months. Staff was attentive and friendly with several great tasting beers to try as you hang out and catch the sunset.

Love this spot. Good beer, great service. Stunning sunset views in the rooftop. Chill vibe, and there seems to always be a food truck out on weekend evenings.

What a cool space in a great location! We actually walked from The Optimist food hall to Wooden Robot, and I'm so glad we did (I wouldn't exactly call it super walkable). We both ordered flights, and had a great variety of their beers. All of them were delicious, and I can't wait to go back when they have more of the saisons on tap! We had a great time chatting with the bartender, Nick - he was very friendly, and made some great local recommendations for dinner and further rounds of drinks. Can't wait to go back!

The creators of my favorite beer has finally made a larger facility with a suburb rooftop beer garden. The brewery has also added Barreled Aged brews which adds a little more variety to the Wooden Robot lineup. Come for the beer and stay for the location and ambience. Pros - The huge facility allows for more beer enthusiast to pack the place as a positive from its Southend predecessor - Good Morning Vietnam is by far my favorite craft beer in the city of Charlotte a close 2nd place is The Overachiever - The bartenders are highly informed about each beer and give great advice for newcomers Cons - Currently there is no food available at this location - Parking is limited Pro Tip - Grab some ice cream from the famous Jenni's next door , head up to the rooftop. Enjoy ice cream , beer and a beautiful sunset.

Was with my family drinking a good morning Vietnam trying not to gag when the most vulgar rap song came on saying I'm gonna f*** you nig***. My kids were not the only kids there. I asked the bar tender if they could change the station or turn it down and he said "naw man, that's our vibe, but you can talk to our manager". I said sure and then the manager said "naw man, I'm not changing it, that's our vibe." They don't deserve your money. They're racist and bigoted.

Ain't nothing to complain about here. Except for parking. But I don't blame Wooden Robot for that at all (and neither should you - it's NoDa, you should know by now that it sucks regardless of where you are. Find street parking and buck up, kiddo) So! The Chamber at Wooden Robot - a secondary operation from an already very-successful brewery. This time with a shiny new upgraded rooftop option! The staples are all there, but the main point of this brewery is to focus on barrel aged and funky offerings. However, those take quite a while to brew, so in this early on phase, there's not too too much that's specialized. That will change in time though! The downstairs location has all of their beers - their staples (Good Morning Vietnam, What He's Having, etc.) and a full list of what's Chamber specific. If you're coming to try the new experimental stuff, downstairs is where you want to order. It's spacious and has standing room tables as well. If you dare to go outside (and I understand if you don't, it gets hot as crap here sometimes), there's lots of picnic tables and a lot of the time, there's even a food truck! The real gem of this place is the rooftop. It's accessible via two staircases - one outside, and one inside. There's a small bar upstairs to order (your tab carries over), but the selection is usually just their staples. The view, however, is awesome. You can tower over NoDa like Mufasa showing Simba what land is his. You can sit on benches that look like they were stolen from City Lights but this place is actually cool. There's shaded picnic tables, the rusted NODA sign (although from up on the rooftop, you'd think you were in the ADON neighborhood), and you can see the sunset. This is the brewery experience that Charlotte deserves, *and* the one it needs, so go hunt it. Because the beer is good, not because it's a rooftop. It's NoDa's silent guardian, a watchful protector, and has Dark Beer.

A well thought out and planned concept from Wooden Robot. Also probably the closest brewery to a lightrail stop. GENIUS. South End breweries are always packed but NoDas aren't. Now you can get your delicious beer that you are used to having in SouthEnd right off 36th Street. The Chamber has wonderful indoor and outdoor spaces and of course a highly popular rooftop bar. There's nothing like drinking beer on top of a building these days and Wooden Robot has a great spot to do it. Well spread out and plenty of room for seating and standing and watching the lightrail come and go. They have a cool barrel aging area, which is why it's got the name "Chamber" since they will be focusing their aging and sour beer operation out of here. Expect a food truck on the patio for your food needs and plenty of local Charlotte beer flowing from the taps.

The great beer you're come to expect from this brewery plus new ones and small batches. The rooftop is great! Located in Noda near the 36th St Rail Stop! There's usually a food truck outside when I've been there!

Was excited to check this place out. I'm not too big in the brewery scene as I'm not a big beer person but love checking out new spots. And this one had me wanting to checkout the rooftop. So first parking, there is a garage and the first hour is free but if you use the app there's a .35 fee. We only stayed for about 40mins so I'm not too such how much it is after. Also it's NoDa so you can look for street parking if your lucky. But it is right off the light rail where I think is great. Upon walking up you see there's an outside patio area looking right at the light rail and there's a staircase with a lot of stairs. We went inside to check it out and it was pretty busy with ample amount of seating. Has a pretty cool setup for groups and a more intimate area. The bar is pretty huge and also has a window for the people on the patio to just walk up and order drinks. We ordered Prosecco which was good and headed outside up the staircase and yes it's a lot of stairs, especially in heels with a drink in hand. The rooftop was of course even more packed but we found a partially empty picnic bench to seat at. There is a bar up there but didn't seem to have many options but we didn't go to it. The view isn't really much as anything and thing I would prefer the inside or patio next time.

I was excited to have another Wooden Robot location since the other one is always packed. I think this one will be just the same with similar pros and cons. Just like the other location, parking is limited and hard to come by. Noda already has an issue with this, so unless you get lucky and get to park in one of the 20 spots right there, you either need to pay to park at Novel, find street parking forever away, or (my best suggestion) lightrail (as it is RIGHT there). The rooftop is definitely this place's best feature. No real views, but you can still watch the sunset and get a nice breeze in your hair. String lights line the patio and there is a lot of seating up there as well as another bar to order from. They are also prepared for rain: we came after a quick shower and they were squeegeeing off the picnic table benches which was a very nice touch. The beers as always were good and I don't yet notice a distinct difference between what they have here versus the main location, but as long as they keep Good Morning Vietnam, that's fine by me. The downstairs indoor area is open, but dark, but adds to the vibe. There is actually less seating downstairs I think, but other than avoiding a rain storm, we didn't spend much time here.

NoDa recently gained another amazing gem. Wooden Robot has opened a new location there called The Chamber. It has a gorgeous tap room with a long bar, a big screen TV, and filled with their oak foeders and barrels of beer. They also have a nice rooftop biergarten. There are plenty of tables outside that overlook the train stop. You get to watch the beautiful CAT trains roll in and out. I mean this in a positive way. This location primarily focuses on their farmhouse ales and sours but you will also find standard Wooden Robot staples as well. Ample parking in the garage next to the main entrance as well. It's a really cool place to hang out and the staff is friendly and helpful!

New. Cool. Local. Gluten-free. First, let me tell you that I don't LOVE beer, mainly bc I can't have gluten, let alone pour it into my body in massive quantities, but Wooden Robot is THE acceptation. All of their beers have an enzyme that eliminates the gluten and therefore I CAN LOVE THIER BEER. This new place is great, tucked closely to all of NoDa and next to other great new restaurants, bars, and the light rail. The rooftop bar is a great place to hang with friends and soak in the Charlotte skyline from a new perspective. They always have amazing food trucks on sight that keep you coming back for more.

This is so freaking awesome! Great service and great beers. Priced perfectly. I can't imagine a better way to spend the weekend

Cute little place. Good local beer. Didn't spend too much time since bar was closing. Bartender was very nice. Next to train station
